[quote=Anonymous]My kids both played soccer and track for walls and both went on to compete in college at the D1 level. To say Walls doesn’t have a good sports culture is a common misconception among dc parents. In the past four years there have been 4 D1 commits, 2 D2 and several D3 across soccer, track, swim and golf and other sports. To have that with zero assigned athletic facilities is impressive in its own right. This class alone has had five kids committed to play in college. For track the coaches are good and do the best they can to train them at the square track at Bannecker rec because that’s all there is available. The girls team especially has been in the top four for DCIAA the past seven years even placing 3rd in indoor at states a few years ago. They currently have four athletes qualified for nationals this year.  Walls has the second highest amount of student athletes across 20+ sports in DCPS only fewer than JR. Because of the students’ commitment to travel far and wide all over the city for practice space and also excel in the classroom they are extremely prepared for college I’d say. Just my two cents. Do your research with the athletic director there before listening to uniformed parents. [/quote]
